The Last Dance. This season will be, unless the last season of Antoine Griezmann will be reversed in Atlético de Madrid's last season. After a rather mediocre 2024/2025 exercise and insistent rumors concerning a departure for Major League Soccer, the former tricolor international made the choice to stay in Madrid land. Only, and the principal concerned knows it, he will have to be satisfied with a secondary role this season. Atlético is launching a new cycle with already seven new reinforcements, and it's not over, and everything indicates that Grizi will officially pass the leader's torch to Julian Alvarez, already the author of a brilliant first season at Metropolitano.
It is therefore a role of offensive joker and supervising young players who awaits the tricolor striker for his last year in Madrid, and this new costume does not seem to disturb him. Only, in view of what he is showing on this summer preparation, the Frenchman seems determined to thwart the plans of his management. Indeed, he was particularly sharp and shocks everyone in training, he who had also made a good friendly copy against Newcastle with a goal.
The return of Grizi Prime?
As indicated ASwe are seeing the Griezmann again of his best years. Physically, inspired in the last meters and killer in front of the goal, Griezmann wants to show that he will have to count on him this season. The media confirms that it leaves as a replacement, with Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sørloth which should compose the Colchonero attack duo, but the possibility of seeing him take up a major role if it is at this level is clearly not to be ruled out. What clearly upset the management plans.
Diego Simeone remains a fervent admirer of the player, and he knows that a Griezmann in shape even without being 100% can bring more than any other player. With a reinforced team around him and the arrival of players capable of delighting attackers such as Alex Baena or Thiago Almada, Griezmann also knows that when he plays, he will have less creative responsibilities to assume and will not have to win as much. He can therefore focus on what he likes the most: the last pass and the finish. Clearly, Antoine Griezmann has not said his last word!
